Effects of Global Warming - [Closes 8/4/08]

[Mr.OSH]

We've all seen environmentalists all over the news warning governments that we are heading towards the tipping point with global warming and that we need to make dramatic changes to our life styles if we want to prevent this from occurring.

Are we doing enough to stop global warming and will it really have such massive impact on us? Is it too late or will it never even happen?

Happy Debating!

It will happen yes, it happens every 50,000 years a so, it's just a large coincidence it comes at the time of an industrial boom, but coincidence's do happen. I believe it's a natural thing, it cannot be stopped at all, and we're just slowly making the natural situation worse than it already is by releasing dangerous gases and CO2 in the atmosphere.

What really annoys me is people think that things like Recycling has stuff to do with Global Warming? Recycling is about re-using world resource's so we don't run out...

It doesn't exist.

i'm pretty sure this is the first time we've had an "industrial boom".

Agreed, Earth is just cooling down from an ice age.

Sorry I've badly worded it, I meant this current Global Warming session has just came at the same time as Industrial growth, which is just a coincidence, they don't come hand in hand and your right, it is the first industrial boom, there certainly wasn't one 50,000 years ago.

Around 50 years ago people used to complain the weather was getting worse because of Russian space craft like 'Sputnik' - Your probably laughing at that thinking 'as if'. Human's always believe the world is getting worse and blame it on something, in 50 years time we'll laugh at global warming.

I don't actually think that humans are causing global warming.

Scientists have built up a detailed map of the temperature over thousands of years by examining ice cores. The temperature has fluctuated greatly even when humans didn't exist.

Global warming is a myth.

Global warming exists , we just don't cause it. Proved its happend before , we just are using it as an excuse to clean up our act.

[Nereo]

Global warming is probably happening. But it has nothing to do with us its natural

[Frodo13.]

Carbon emissions destroy the Ozone layer, which makes the Earth more vunerable to heat, melting the ice caps which will eventually lead to global floods.


Solution: Stop using CO2 gasses
